I had almost that EXACT same conversation with Mister Man except that he was going to open a restaurant with Little Miss and have 11 children, six boys and five girls... and I was going to babysit them while Little Miss and Mister Man worked. Ahhh! Very cute :)

My mother claims that one day, when I was about 4 years old, she found me sitting in my room, crying about the fact my father and my grandfather were already married.I am happy to learn other kids do this too. Clay always cracks me up :DAnd here in Kentucky they say it's West Virginia ;)

Reading your post was a flashback to a conversation I had with my daughter awhile back. She had made some kind of comment out of the blue about wanting to marry her two year old brother and I told her she couldn't. When she asked why not, I said something like "because we aren't from kentucky".

So you aren't the only one to make inappropriate jokes about other states and incest!

I had forgotten how much you were funny, Dawn!We get ours in France too...They're from ....area. No, sorry, but I don't want troubles with my feelow-citizens! Especially, because I'm parisian and we're not already loved by other regions.

My almost 5 yr old insists he is going to marry me when he grows up. When I gently point out I am already married to his dad he claims that's ok, he and Daddy and I can all marry each other while his big brother watches and cries. Nope, no sibling or Oedipal issues in our house, not at all!

You should have told him that at the proper time you'd pick one out for him. Start planting the idea of an arrangment now. He'll grow up use to the concept. But, too late now. You let the cat out of the bag.

Another "in defense of Arkansas" post here from a first-time poster who has been reading your blog since almost the very beginning. I'm originally from Arkansas and my extended family remains there. I normally LOVE your blog, but my beloved home state could do without the slams, thank you. I'll laugh it off this time and keep reading.

What a sweet exchange twixt mother and child. Your little whirlwind gave you a breath of fresh air! Now I feel all warm and fuzzy. This was soo much better than the cup of tea I decided not to have. Thank you for sharing your moment.
